ASSESSMENT:
Patient's response to occupational therapy interventions : good . Patient with prev ious B TKA and residual CVA L sided weakness . She requires increased time to complete tasks , however, was able to demonstrate bed mobility and functional transfers with close supervision . Patient familiar with AE including sock aid and reacher, re-educated on use of AE . Patient able to tolerate long functional mobility in hallway; educated on pacing strategies and energy conservation techniques to improve activity tolerance . Discussed DME as patient currently does not have shower chair at home . She would greatly benefit from a tub transfer be nch to improve safety with showering d/t balance deficits . O.T. encouraged AOL engageme nt and safe performance .
THERAPY PROBLEM LIST : Patient presents with decreased activity tolerance, res idual L sided weakness from prev ious CVA, balance defi cits wh ich li mit the pati ent's safety and independence wit hin AOL and functional mobility/transfers .
THERAPY STRENGTHS : coope rative , pleasant, motivated ,..A t
GOALS:
PATIENT/FAMILY THERAPY GOALS: To go home
SHORT-TERM GOALS (STG) (1-3 treatment visits) Patient will perform: 1. Increase standing tolerance to 1 O+ minutes with reports of minimal pain to improve activity tolerance 2.
